Formscan - Bay Dream Believer beat Little Ted by a neck over track and trip 10 days ago and that form is likely to be upheld. Triple Force has taken the silver medal home the last twice and should remain competitive, but POET'S DAWN gets the nod. The veteran could only manage third in a stronger event over C&D on his latest outing, but shared the spoils at Beverley prior and is just 2lb higher here.
